Servo Angle From Pulse

Map a hobby servo pulse width between 500 and 2500 microseconds to a signed angle with the documented linear scale of 1000 to 2000 microseconds covering -90 to +90 degrees, clamping extended-range pulses to the endpoints.

Servo Angle From Pulse: Map a hobby servo pulse width between 500 and 2500 microseconds to a signed angle with the documented linear scale of 1000 to 2000 microseconds covering -90 to +90 degrees, clamping extended-range pulses to the endpoints.

When to use Servo Angle From Pulse

Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

How Servo Angle From Pulse works

Map a hobby servo pulse width between 500 and 2500 microseconds to a signed angle with the documented linear scale of 1000 to 2000 microseconds covering -90 to +90 degrees, clamping extended-range pulses to the endpoints. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Angle (°)
Commanded angle clamped to the -90 to 90 degree range.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Pulse width, angle, speed, and step relationships depend on controller convention, gearing, microstepping, load, supply, deadband, mechanical stops, acceleration, missed steps, and calibration. Commanded position is not necessarily achieved position.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.

    Interpolate a hobby servo command pulse width from angle using the servo's calibrated angle and pulse-width endpoints; do not assume a universal pulse range.

  • ADC LSB Voltage

    Calculate one ideal ADC code width as full-scale input span divided by 2^N. Full-scale span is the high-to-low range, not necessarily the reference voltage for every ADC topology.
